IQ Micro Accelerates Product Development Program

WEST PALM BEACH, FL | Posted on July 17th, 2007

IQ Micro Inc. (OTCBB: IQMC), exclusive licensor of electro-osmotic membranes and micropumps for the rapidly emerging microfluidic technology sector, announced today that the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology, Inc. (CSEM) will play a leading role in IQ Micro's accelerated product development program for the Company's revolutionary micropumps.

IQ Micro Chief Operational Officer Per Arne Lislien said, "Having recently relocated our European operation into CSEM's Central Switzerland Centre in Alpnach, we are working closely in a combined effort to enhance the micropump's design and performance. We have placed top priority on our micropump development program and look forward to continued successes as a result of our CSEM partnership."

CSEM, a private research and development centre that specializes in microtechnology, nanotechnology, microelectronics, systems engineering and communications technologies, will support IQ Micro in its development program of the Company's proprietary micropumps, with a special focus on micro fuel cell applications.

CSEM Chief Operating Officer Philippe Steiert said, "Before contacting CSEM in March 2004, IQ Micro had worked on the theory of the pump's principle and design, and had performed initial testing on the macroscopic scale for verification. CSEM was approached to partner in developing a microfabricated version of the pump and subsequently in preparing the micropump's design and optimization, as well as organizing the microfabrication of the pumps. To achieve these goals, the required innovative methods for the production of these micropumps were jointly developed by IQ Micro and CSEM."

About IQ Micro Inc.IQ Micro Inc. is an international licensing company that commercializes proprietary technology developed for use in the microfluidics industry, a rapidly emerging industry that has developed from the micro-chip industry. Rather than the traditional flow of electrical current through a silicon chip, microfluidic technology involves circuits of tiny chambers, channels and pumps that direct the flow of liquids on a single micro-chip, as well as membrane technologies.

IQ Micro has been granted exclusive licensing rights to the microfluidics technology developed and patented by the Norwegian company, Osmotex AS. As part of its worldwide licensing agreement, Osmotex's parent company, Osmolife AS, has secured an 85% ownership position in IQ Micro. IQ Micro recently entered into an Agreement in Principle with its parent company, Osmolife AS, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lifecare AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Osmolife AS that is developing advanced micro and nanotechnology for the glucose monitoring market.

IQ Micro is actively pursuing global licensing opportunities for its patented electro-osmotic membrane technology and the "invisible pump," a microfluidic technology with a wide range of consumer, medical and industrial applications.
